London: Published by Edward Orme, 1817.London: Published by Edward Orme, 1817. A breathtaking print of Lord Grosvenor's famous racehorse Protector, by George Stubbs, England's most famous equine painter. George Stubbs is considered one of the greatest English painters. His ingenious animal and sporting pictures remain unrivalled in their passionate depiction of emotion and their commitment to naturalistic observation. Stubbs was briefly apprenticed to the painter Hamlet Winstanley, a relationship that quickly ended, leaving the young artist to his own tuition. In contrast to contemporary academic theory, Stubbs' attached great importance to the belief that art should imitate nature, not the work of other artists. He spent years carefully studying human and equine anatomy so that he could truthfully represent natural form and movement. A result of this study was his famous 'Anatomy of the Horse', which details, with beautiful engraving, the various elements of a horse's anatomy, from skeletal form to muscular definition. Continuing in search of innovation, Stubbs began experimenting with a myriad of different mediums, becoming accomplished in both enamels and printmaking. Through arduous application, he became a talented mezzotint engraver and worked with ease in both soft ground, and etching techniques. Stubbs' masterful paintings inspired some of the greatest engravers of the day to reproduce his work for publication, including his own son George Townly Stubbs who reproduced with faithful accuracy the sublime emotion inherent in his father's … [Click Below for Full Description]

1817. A new edition, enlarged by George Graves and William Jackson Hooker. London, Henry G. Bohn, [1817-] 1835. 5 volumes. Large-folio (481 x 290mm). With 659 beautifully handcoloured engraved plates on 647 leaves. Contemporary green half morocco, spines in 6 compartments with gilt lettering, topedges gilt. A reissue of the second, much enlarged edition. The second edition was published from 1817-1828. "Henry Bohm took over the remaining copies of this second edition and issued them in 1835 with new title-pages, carrying the date 1835" (Stafleu & Cowan 1286). The first three volumes contain the original 432 plates, but the text rewritten by Hooker. The final two volumes are entirely new, with the plates mostly from drawings by Hooker, together with his own descriptions. The impressive 'Flora Londinensis' is much more comprehensive in scope than its title suggests, for it embraces most of the English flora, and as a result of which it should be properly regarded as the first colour-plate national flora. "Curtis adopted the novel plan of having specimens drawn to a uniform scale and to life size, and most of the plates display a high degree of accuracy. In the opinion of Salisbury, the majority of the figures 'represent the most successful portrayals of British wild flowers that have ever been achieved'" (Henry II, p. 67). The fine plates are by James Sowerby, Sydenham Edwards, and Hooker. William Curtis is one of the great names in botany, the present work and his famous 'Botanical Magazine' are landmarks in English botany.

Prague: Bohumil Háze (Gottlieb Haase), 1817. Octavo (20 × 16 cm). Original self-wrappers with brown paper spine strip; [3], 15 pp. Printed in Latin and Czech, with the latter set in a Fraktur font. Lightly dust-soiled; spine strip worn; small nick to right margin of p. 1; old vertical crease to text. First (separate?) edition of this satire in verse on the Czech national character from the Baroque period, the most famous literary work by J. F. Hammerschmidt (1652-1737), the Czech historian, writer, and priest. In addition to his historical and theological explorations, Hammerschmidt wrote numerous lighter works of satirical nature. He was known for his refusal to write and preach in German, using only Czech and Latin. This work playfully alternates Czech and Latin words, sometimes creating new words from a Latin and Czech morpheme each, respectively set in Fraktur and Antiqua fonts. The title page indicates that this poem was "issued" in 1715, but we cannot locate any such a publication, suggesting this to be the first edition, or possibly the first stand-alone edition. The KVK and OCLC catalogs show only the copy at the Czech National Library (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin holds the second edition, 1829).

Erste Ausgabe seines seltenen Erstlingswerkes, einer Vorarbeit zu seinem 1835 erschienenen Hauptwerk. - Der englische Chemiker und Farbenfabrikant Field (1777-1854) beschäftigte sich ein Leben lang nicht nur praktisch mit Farben und Färben, sondern auch theoretisch mit ihren harmonischen Beziehungen. In vorliegendem Werk knüpft er an die Arbeiten von Le Blon an, indem er mit den drei subtraktiven Primärfarben Rot, Gelb und Blau operiert und sich bemüht, eine Farbharmonie in ästhetischer Analogie zur musikalischen Harmonielehre aufzustellen. Seine Theorien waren besonders für die Farbenlehre in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts bedeutend, wurden jedoch nach den Theorien von Maxwell und Helmholtz obsolet, so schön sein Kompass der Farben auch ist. - Breitrandiges, nahezu fleckenfreies Exemplar in einem hübschen Einband. - Indergand, Bibl. de la couleur 254 [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
